To investigate the nitrification potential of phyllospheric microbes, we incubated throughfall samples collected under the canopies of Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica) and analyzed the transformation of inorganic nitrogen in the samples. Nitrate concentration increased in the unfiltered throughfall after 4 weeks of incubation, but remained nearly constant in the filtered samples (pore size...

Anaerobic digestion of high-nitrogen wastes such as animal manure can be inhibited by high concentrations of un-ionized ammonia, NH(3) (aq). Understanding the toxicity of NH(3) (aq) to anaerobic digestion requires a method for determining its concentration. Previous work on ammonia toxicity in anaerobic digesters has utilized a simple equilibrium calculation for estimating NH(3) (aq) concentrat...

Nano particles of zinc borate were obtained by homogeneous precipitation method which is based on dissolving in ammonia and precipitating it as nano slow evaporation ammonia. The synthesized borates characterized advanced analytical techniques. Zinc used a lubricant additive to spindle oil having Span 60 dispersant. well dispersed shown optical microscopy the oils. Four ball tests lubricants in...

Wet deposition and transport analysis has been performed for ammonium (NH` 4 ) in North Carolina, USA. Multiple regression analysis is employed to model the temporal trend and seasonality in monthly volume-weighted mean NH` 4 concentrations in precipitation from 1983 to 1996 at six National Atmospheric Deposition Program/National Trends Network (NADP/NTN) sites. A signi"cant (p(0.01) increasing...

Elevated emissions of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and ammonia in China have resulted in high levels of sulfur and nitrogen deposition, being contributors to soil acidification, especially in and near large cities. However, knowledge gaps still exist in the way that large cities shape spatial patterns of acid deposition. Here, we assessed the patterns of pH, sulfate, nitrate and ammonium in ...

Abstract Ammonia nitrogen management is a recurrent problem in intensive livestock areas. Struvite precipitation stands as mature technology to recover ammonia and prevent associated environmental problems. However, the feasibility of struvite from pig manure limited by reagents cost. This research aimed optimise formulation stabilizing agent (SA) synthesised using an industrial low-grade MgO b...

according to the unique properties and many applications of nano gold powder, it was prepared from an acid leaching tail solution. the low value residual gold ions existed in acid leaching tail solution in mouteh gold mine in iran with fellow heavy metals as pollutants (fe2+, cu2+, and zn2+). preparation of nano gold particles is achieved by two steps: first, by addition of ammonia as separatio...

In the present study, Fe3O4 super paramagnetic nanoparticles were synthesized via co-precipitation of Fe3+ and Fe2+ chloride salts in the presence of ammonia Solution. The product was characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), and zeta–potential particle size distributing methods. The synt...

The carbon- and nitrogen-rich soils of montane grasslands are exposed to above-average warming and to altered precipitation patterns as a result of global change. To investigate the consequences of climatic change for soil nitrogen turnover, we translocated intact plant-soil mesocosms along an elevational gradient, resulting in an increase of the mean annual temperature by approx. 2 °C while de...
